Melanie did an excellent job selling my apartment. She worked hard to get buyers through my place in the lead up to the auction and helped me get a great price. I selected Melanie because my initial instinct was that she was knowledgable and had integrity- both turned out to be true.
I have nothing but praise for Mel and her team at McGrath in St Kilda. I live in another state and thus was very reliant on Mel and Josh's knowledge and experience in the St Kilda property market. I also needed them to stay in regular contact with me throughout the marketing campaign. Their combined knowledge and experience helped me make sound decisions for the sale of my property, particularly as I was unfamiliar with the current VIC real estate market. Through them I arranged a stylist to furnish my, what was an empty apartment. They ran a great 4 week marketing campaign where after every inspection, they would call me to give feedback and reports on prospective buyers. Being well and regularly informed, I was able to make good decisions leading up to auction day. On auction day, Mel's colleague had me on the phone so I could hear Josh launching off into auction, he was very good. Given my property didn't sell on auction day, it did sell a few days later, and I was very happy with the end result. I highly recommend Mel and her team at McGrath if you are looking for great real estate agents in the St Kilda area. Thanks Mel and Josh :-)
My daughter and myself found the experience with Melanie highly professional and enjoyable.

The sale result sets me up for a beautiful retirement in Hobart.Thankyou again Brenda lol lol by by
Melanie Walden and Josh Sterling took on our property in St Kilda at a difficult time of year (Winter, election time) and got us the results we needed and wanted. Their communication and total professionalism meant that this was way less stressful than we expected it to be. Melanie ran open viewings with tenants in situ with care and consideration. Melanie and Josh's communication was positive, clear and professional throughout - that cheerful positve presence was great for us as sellers and I'm sure it showed in their communication with prospective buyers too. Thanks Melanie and Josh for everything you did - you made selling up at a tricky time of year a breeze!
All completed quickly and satisfactorily. Thanks Melanie
OK, so here is the scoop, there are agents and then there are agents and then there is the dynamic duo agents - Josh and Mel from McGrath in St Kilda. I had previously used these guys to sell one of my properties 3 years ago. I was extremely impressed with their advise, attitude and general knowledge of the market. We sold that property the day before auction and I was ecstatic with the result. So when I decided to sell off another chunk of my property portfolio I did not hesitate to work with them again. This last property was slightly unusual and it just needed to find the perfect new owner to fall in love with it. With some patience and perseverance Mel and Josh came through again, they sold it for me for my asking price, you can't get much better than that. I highly recommend these guys who don't stop until the job is done and all are happy.
Melanie was great from beginning to end. She did everything she said she would do. I live overseas which meant that I was very dependent on Melanie to keep things moving and to initiate conversations that kept me in touch. Melanie emailed me with updates each week, was proactive in ensuring I had all documentation in place and in the end she achieved a price significantly higher than I had expected and hoped for. I unreservedly recommend Melanie as an honest agent who does what she says she will do. I could not be happier with the result or the process.
We have been watching Mel and Josh as a team for the last three years and we have seen them easily be the most impressive agents in the area. We chose to go with McGrath solely based on the proven work ethic we have seen from Mel. We knew she would work harder than any other agent. The thing that sets her apart from other agents is her attention to detail, her tireless work ethic and thoroughness in following up of over 250 groups over our 4 week campaign. She proved to us that we made the best decision. The amazing result we got on auction day is testament to Mel's hard work and dedication to her job. She well and truly exceeded our high expectations and we could not recommend her more highly.
Great communication and flexibility. Great to deal with and excellent presentation skills
The deal simply wouldn't have happened without Melanie's persistence. I was sitting on the fence about selling, and Melanie took it upon herself to bring the buyers to me. Still not convinced, I waited and let her do her job. Gradually, she worked potential buyers up to a price that I was very happy with, and we got there. There was such little pain and effort, and Melanie is a star!
Melanie Walden is a great agent! I was neck deep not knowing what to do or where to go for things with a deadline of when to sell and not only was she able to help in getting the place ready but was knowledgeable on the area, the types of properties in the area I was going up against and made the whole process easy. There was not a moment I didn't know what was going on, where we were at and have a realistic picture of the entire process and how much I could sell for. Melanie is personable, honest and caring. Always wanting the best for her customers and always there to help. If I ever had to sell again I would choose Melanie anytime.
